Romanian Court Rules on Bulgarian Businessman Appeal

Crime | September 4, 2007, Tuesday // 00:00

Bucharest Court of Appeal is to try Tuesday the case of Bulgarian businessman Stamen Stantchev, detained in Romania on corruption charges.

Stantchev has been appealing on his continued interdiction to leave the country.

Romanian investigators arrested Stanchev in November, but later released him on condition that he would not leave Bucharest. Except, Stantchev must sign on papers in a local police station every day.

The detainee is not allowed to work either.

Prosecutors see him as the brains behind the industrial espionage network, whose goal was to obtain key documentation pertaining to the privatisation of strategic industrial assets in the energy and telecom sectors in order to win consultancy contracts.

Romania's former economic, communication and privatisation deputy ministers are also on the dock over the same accusations.
